Tiny Collages & Collage Paper Sorting
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 ก.ย. 2024
- I've been talking about re-sorting my collage scraps for weeks, so I finally did it... and then spent some time using the tiniest scraps in tiny collages on paint chips. It was fun to use such a small scale and resulted in unexpected compositions. This exercise can be used on its own as a collage warm up, a way to try out new combinations of colors/patterns, as an art journal page, and/or as a mixed media painting starter.
Materials used: paint chips, collage paper & gloss medium.

Fabulous and so much fun! U really make me smile!
And yes...mega paper horder here, boxes with all different sizes and types, its not the worst addiction tho hey lol.
Thank you for all the fun and inspiration ❤❤❤❤
Oh that’s so nice to hear - thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
i have a huge box of scraps i'm working through right now to make tiny collages, so when i saw you had a video about them that I'd missed, I wanted to watch! (sidenote: i'll take your scraps you throw out hahaha.) actually, what would be super fun is like if a bunch of us collage artists got together and started sharing our 'i hate these' scraps with each other to see what they'd make when recontextualized in someone else's work or with someone else's paperstash they already have. i guess some artists already do this with happy mail, but i feel like that's usually papers people like - i want everyone's refuse hahaha - i get a good feeling from turning something that would have gone to the trash into something aesthetically pleasing or artistically meaningful to myself
I love these collages being on paint samples! What a great use for them. I have some squirreled away from when we painted the bathroom that I should dig out. I've also considered using house paint. I'd love to get a second garage studio set up where i could do large scale paintings with house paint. Maybe eventually. :)
I love the idea of a community collage scrap swap - other people always have fascinating scraps, don’t they? Do you think it’s because we each tend to gather collage papers from the same sources again and again, so other people’s scraps feel exotic and exciting? 🤩 I’ve thought about house paint too - it’s the storage part that gets me. I’m sure it’d be easy to work around, but I can’t see to wrap my mind around it. YET. 😆
Thank you for the time difference consideration Jackie!!!!!from Mount Gambier South Australia!!
Thanks so much for watching! ❤️🇦🇺☺️
FYI: House paint comes in sample sizes - about 4 bucks a jar. Nice wide openings (like Nova paints) and a gazillion colors. Sometimes Lowe’s has them at 50% off!!
Oh you’re not alone, I am a paper hoarder too lol. I feel so much better knowing you’re out there doing the same types of storage and sorting attempts with tiny scraps and with the same levels of moderate success. 😂😂 So I too just start gluing them down and adding paint and marks and stuff. Soooo much fun. There must be hundreds of thousands of us out there😊
One of the best things about the internet is that it can connect creatives like us with each other ❤️❤️❤️
thank you for thinking about us! so many american artists don't - even though we subscribe and are a huge gang! i love your videos. michele
Thanks Michelle - You (and the whole gang 😆) are welcome here! ❤️❤️❤️
Oh Jackie…. Two bins? I have a scary amount of scraps! You are not the only one that saves the tiny beauties. I cannot let them go!
You need to know that you are not alone, I cannot pass by a paint department without gathering some paint chips, it is an addiction/obsession! 😆. I love colours so much, the paint chip aisle is like a garden of flowers and exotic birds to me! Yes, I also hoard scraps, what is wrong with us!🤣🤣🤣🤣🇨🇦
Hahaha! Glad to know I’m in good company! Nothing is wrong with us - it’s everyone ELSE who doesn’t appreciate those little gems of colored paper that needs to reevaluate their priorities 😂😂😂
@@jackieschomburgart 😁. You are correct, I mean some people just can’t see the things that make life so exciting! Creatives rock!👊🏻
@@cindycreateforlife ❤️❤️❤️
Oh so wonderful!!
Thank you, Candace! ❤️❤️❤️
A hoarder myself indeed. I have all my little scraps organised by colour families as well. Love these mini collages, they're so cool!
Thanks Treezy! It was really fun. I love being in the company of fellow collage scrap hoarders 😆❤️❤️❤️
I use paint chips all the time. Remember you can get paint small samples for around $5 in any color. I use them for painting mats for my prints and photos. Also, paint stirrers are free, if you need wood for anything.
❤️❤️❤️
These are stunning
Thank you, Enrica! ❤️
Cute little minis❣️
Thanks! ❤️
I am always so happy to see that i am not alone in my love for the tiniest scraps, Thank You!!💖🍀
You are most certainly not alone! 🤗❤️❤️❤️
Love the tiny collage. Joyful energy. And it's all in the individual eye - for me the fuzzy peach is definitely outback mirage landscape.
Thanks, Judy! Love the outback imagery! ❤️
Love them Jackie (& needless to say I'm a scrap hoarder too, some of the greatest satisfaction I find is from making small collages totally from the discard/scrap boxes -- art from nothing!) Info on Lenore Tawney coming soon ❤
Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️ Isn’t it fun to make something out of something you could just as easily throw away? Literally EVERYTHING has potential ☺️
Just another paper scrap hoarder here 🙋♀️. I soon drown in all those small pieces 😅. I’m also organizing them right now - well, at least trying to 😁
Hi Eva! Thanks for organizing along with me ☺️❤️
Fellow paper hoarder..LOVE the tiny collage! ❤
Yay! Thank you, Teri! How’s Nicholas Wilton’s course treating you so far? ❤️
I love this tiny collage idea! I have a box of Pantone postcards with 100 different colors - I’ve often thought about cutting them up for collage, but just couldn’t bring myself to do it. I am definitely a paper scrap hoarder too and think these postcards would be the perfect background for my tiny scraps!
Hi Heather, that's a great idea! Let me know how it goes ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Heather...where did purchase the Pantone cards from?
@@MsRiita01 - I purchased mine from Amazon. They usually have an option to buy a box of 50 or a box of 100.
@@heathervaughn6508 thank you
Thank you!😊
You're welcome ❤️
Greetings Jackie. I find your practice very inspirational. You make art with everything and you always make the making of art fun. Thank you for always generously sharing. 🙏🏽🥰💖✨💖✨💖💐💐💐
Thank you so much, Ingrid! ❤️❤️❤️
adorable tiny collages reward and nourish the artist who completes her sort out job! 😊❤
100%! ❤️
I get the small paint samples. They will mix any color you want. They only cost $2 or so and I do use the housepaint in my art.
Good thinking to have them mix samples up! ❤️❤️❤️
Just a word of caution about the latex house paint. I made the mistake to pour the jar with my brushes with the paint down the kitchen sink...honeyyy it cost me $500 to unclog my drain. Had to call the plumber. Latex sticks together but I thought it was like acrylic paint. Nope. Be careful please. I love your paint chip art. Beautiful!
Ohhhh nooooo! 🫣 Thanks for the heads up! And thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
That was WAY too much fun!🧡
So glad you enjoyed it! ❤️
soooo...3 am today imma fussy cutting flowers from a coloring book. The flowers are multi media practiced, and the reverse side became additional swatch pages for new or old tools, so now ii have dual sided flowers and the fussy remainders...which ii then glued into my real swatch book in blank spaces as 'tiny collages'...and then you show up with this confirmation....
Isn’t life wonderful when these “coincidences” start happening? ☺️❤️
How fun. What is your favorite medium/adhesive
Hi Jill - thank you! I typically use the gloss medium from Nova Color paints ☺️
@@jackieschomburgart thank you
I am a tiny scrap hoarder myself.
Cheers to the tiny scraps! ❤️
I never get rid of my small scraps either.
Veronica, you’re a kindred spirit! 🌟 Small scraps hold big magic! ✨ Keep creating!
The thing about small magazine scraps is that they are different on the other side, right.. choice of 2...
I know! It’s so efficient - TWICE the options in each scrap! 😆
please turn up your volume, they are always barely audible
Hi Mary, Hmm. I hear it just fine on my end and my volume isn’t even 3/4 of the way up. I wonder if there’s a setting you can adjust on your computer that is separate from the main computer volume. For example, perhaps your main computer volume is up high, but your volume on TH-cam is very low? 🤞
Hi Jackie! I've got am almost idententical system of storing my paper scraps! I also try to sort black and white scraps separately... But you know, sometimes that huge pile of papers that tend to fly all over my room (I've got no dedicated sudio, unfortunately) makes me anxious, I have no energy to sort it or to dig into it, and then I just say to myself - oh well, today I'll do something else because I can't deal with this mess. How do you deal with such situation as I am sure you face it too, from time to time.
Oh yes, I deal with it basically every day 😂😂😂 - the chaos/mess anyway. I’m thankful to have a dedicated space for my art, but collage materials have a way of spreading out to (over)fill any space. Sooner or later, I end up shoving the scraps into bins without sorting them and then once a year (or two…) I’ll re-sort them like I did here. All I know is that it’s worth the chaos in the end. Good for you for carving out space to make art - keep showing up! ❤️❤️❤️
